ours call out service to gain entry, secure your home or maybe you have lost or had keys stolen and need the lock changing. Looking for a local locksmith that is reliable and trusted is a daunting task at the best of times, But when its an emergency its even more stressfull , Will they let you down or will they over charge taking advantage of your situation? Unfortunately in a lot of cases the answer is YES! There was recently a episode of rip off britain on the BBC covering this problem. Here at Locks4less unlike many of my competitors i have a prices page on the website highlighting my labour price range and many of the most common locks and parts, Also you will be able to read through many reviews left on Google and Trustpilot in fact over 1200 genuine reviews. For extra peace of mind for my customers a few years back i joined the Essex Trading Standards Buy With confidence scheme the businesses listed on this website have been vetted, approved and continue to be monitored by Trading Standards, to help ensure you receive a quality service. Businesses are only included once they’ve completed a series of stringent checks, including a visit by a qualified Trading Standards professional. Those working in and around people’s homes will also be criminal record checked. If you’ve moved home recently, have you considered having your locks changed? You never know who has a copy of your key maybe a neighbour, tradesman or cleaner and it could have implications on any insurance claim if theres no sign of forced entry. I offer a same day service on completion which can be booked in advance when making your other moving arrangements . On my visit i can confirm whats needed and give a no obligation quotation before any work is carried out. BS3621 You may of heard this on the recent TV advert ” Do your locks conform to” Its very simple if you have a wooden front door it will usually have a nightlatch at the top most commonly known as a Yale but many brands exist, Further down the door you should have a mortice deadlock displaying the BS kitemark usually on the face plate. However if your door is upvc or composite it will most likely have a multipoint lock mechanism so no need for a mortice deadlock but you can upgrade the lock cylinder to a British Standard Anti Snap to greatly improve your security. BS3621 is a lock standard by British Standards Institute (BSI) for thief-resistant locks, BS-3621 locks are found on some front and back doors in the home and it’s a good way to check that your security is up to standard. This is why some insurance companies require door locks are fitted to BS 3621 British Standard. Why not give me a call for free advice and a quoutation today even the call is free 0800 542 9995 or maybe just store my number in your phone as you never know when you might need a locksmith.

Avoiding the common "£49 driller killer" scam—where rogue emergency tradespeople advertise a low £49 call-out fee but subsequently inflate the final bill to hundreds or thousands of pounds—requires a mix of defensive preparation and on-the-spot vigilance. If approached by a trader who seems suspicious, trust your instincts and do not feel pressured to agree immediately. Prepare in Advance. Save a Trusted Contact: Do not rely on web searches for an emergency locksmith, plumber, or builder when you are already locked out or in a stressful situation. Web searches for emergency services often feature paid, unvetted ads from rogue operators.Vet Your Tradesperson: Only use trusted, vetted professionals. Search for verified tradespeople on platforms such as the Buy with Confidence Directory. Steps to Avoid the £49 Trap: Demand a Fixed Price: When you make that emergency call, specifically ask for a total, written, fixed-price quote covering the call-out, the labour, and the parts.Verify on Arrival: Before they start any work, ask them to confirm the exact price again in writing. If they immediately reach for a drill or claim your lock is "too high security" and hike the price on the spot, you should ask them to leave.

Check out the cylinders we supply.
Offering the maximum level of security for entrance doors.

The APECS AP is our BSI 3 Star Kitemark, Sold Secure Diamond Standard Euro Cylinder which offers maximum protection. It safeguards from all forced methods of attack ranging from snapping, drilling, plug-extraction, picking and bumping.

The APECS AP cylinder is specifically designed to protect from unauthorised access by burglars. The AP cylinder is engineered with a unique sacrificial point, which when tampered with externally sets an interlocking cam mechanism into action, preventing any further damage to the internal parts of the cylinder, whilst still keeping the lock operable from the inside.

In the event of snapping, the home owner can still operate the door and exit the property due to the lock's unique mechanism which is engaged when the cylinders external section is snapped off. This mechanism slides the clutch into place, preventing further external damage and manipulation of the cam, whilst keeping the lock operable from the inside.

The APECS AP euro cylinder is available with 5 keys and this can be selected when ordering.

What is the button on the AP Cylinder used for?

The button the thumbturn AP cylinders allows the customer to exit the property if the lock has been damaged on the external side. The technology on our AP means that if the cylinder is snapped on the external side, the internal mechanism cannot be tampered with, meaning that the homeowner can still exit the property. This is usually done by using the key, but with our Thumbturn cylinders, this is done using the button.

What is the APECS up to £2500 Break In Guarantee?

To give you total peace of mind, in the unlikely event of a break-in succeeding through a snapping attack on our cylinder, we will pay up to £2500 towards the loss of any items which are not covered by any of your household insurance policies.
